"I'm not surprised at that," Villanueva said. "Once Joe told me it wasn't gonna happen. … I know a lot of people wanted that (amnesty) to happen because of the injuries and what not. But I'm healthy now. I feel good and I'm getting ready."

I believe that without injuries, he will be the exact same player that Joe signed. And that's the problem. CV didn't get worse after we signed him, he just had a fool's gold type game to begin with. If Joe couldn't see that, then I'm worried about his judgment.

Charlie had an established reputation as a defensive liability and an outside floater and the reputation proved accurate.

I question the validity of his "injuries".
I have reasonable doubt that his "injuries" are a product of a public relations initiative to help both Bucket of Turd and the Pistons save some face for what has been one of the worst FA signings in franchise history.
